• How does dollar stabilization set up backdrop for EM assets if Fed not cutting aggressively?
    Joumanna Bercetche
  • Arthur Budagian
    Dollar will continue falling substantially vs DM currencies, but next dollar down will be deflationary for EMs, not reflationary. Unprecedented divergence - falling dollar and EM stock prices will become positively correlated, breaking historical negative correlation.
  • What gives you conviction this will play out?
    Jennifer Zabasajja

    Calling for regime shift in global investment landscape. If portfolio flows into US decline from $1.5T to $700-800B over next 12 months, dollar will fall to force adjustment in US imports.
  • BCA holds cautious outlook on South Africa vs more positive Egypt - what needs to change?
    Jennifer Zabasajja
  • Arthur Budagian
    If commodity prices decline (base scenario 6-12 months), South African equity and currency will take hit. Structurally, lack of investment leads to low productivity, unsustainable public debt trajectory.
  • Outlook for emerging market issued bonds?
    Joumanna Bercetche
  • Arthur Budagian
    Bullish on EM local currency debt as dollar falls and inflation slows, allowing central banks to cut rates. Favorite is Mexico. EM dollar bond spreads very low - if corporate spreads in US widen, this asset class will be hit.
